In this highly summary oral order, the Patent High Court disposed of a writ petition alleging neglect, untouchability, and cruelty by hospital staff against an HIV-positive petitioner during delivery. Finding that the petition had lost efficacy due to the passage of time, the court did not issue any substantive directions to the authorities.
What did the court decide?
The petitioner's claim for inquiries and departmental action was not granted; the petition was disposed of without substantive relief due to loss of efficacy.
